IWFM Academy Launches New Level 6 Strategic Leadership Programme
29 August 2025
A new strategic leadership programme from the Institute of Workplace and Facilities Management is open for its first intake.
Through independent study, guided activities and tutor-led workshops, the course is aimed at workplace and facilities management professionals who want to develop strategic thinking skills to transform how they lead. Modules include “making better workplace decisions using data” and “selling your workplace vision”
The Level 6 strategic leadership programme is equivalent to degree level and is available for 15 people who will begin the programme in January 2026.
“For too long, we’ve seen that the role of workplace and facilities leaders has been under-recognised, with departments perceived as a cost centre rather than as a vital business pillar,” said IWFM’s Head of Academy, Emma Bellingham.
“We know that WFM delivers huge value to an organisation and its people, which is why we’ve created a programme to equip WFM leaders with the strategic skills to transform the way our profession is perceived.”
